What guests think

Across reviews, Two Rivers Lodge earns consistent praise for welcoming owners, generally clean and comfortable rooms, and a scenic riverfront with pavilions and firepits, while multiple guests note the older, dated buildings show visible wear, rust, and maintenance needs.

The location is convenient for Bryson City, Cherokee, the casino, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. Beds are frequently described as very comfortable, though some report early-morning barking from a neighboring dog kennel and in-room issues like poor lighting or stuck windows. Service is often friendly and accommodating, but a few guests flagged concerns such as a credit card copy policy and an isolated parking dispute. Expect a no-frills, vintage-style roadside stay.

The location was great ,between Bryson City and Cherokee. Short distance to either place. Peaceful and quiet. Beautiful place on the river. Having a grill was a plus.

It was a great place to stay and was extremely reasonable. Although we didnt use it, they have a beautiful pool. Room was clean and shower had good water pressure.

The motel itself was nothing like the pictures on the website, The building is VERY worn and in desperate need of painting, and remodeling, huge space under the peeling painted door entrance. The Metal chairs in front of each room we’re all rusted and terribly faded with hardly any paint on them. Pics attached. If they were just invest in some paint, it wouldn’t be half as bad. Had we not gotten there so late I would’ve looked for another place to stay, but we did stay just three days and left. Definitely not the charming place, I had hoped it would have been.

We had an awesome stay at this quaint little motel that sends you back in time. The bed slept great and the room was clean. We had a huge window that looked out over the river. There is a nice covered pavilion with gliders and picnic tables, fire ring and grills right by the river for your enjoyment. Our last night there we were in the pavilion enjoying the weather and the nature sounds, when an elk walked out of the river and right past us. It was awesome. Would highly recommend. Staff is amazing and i can't wait to stay there again when we are in the area.

Lovely riverfront property. Room was immaculate and it was a joy to have the river so close. There was even a covered area with firepit. The owners were on site and made us feel right at home. And the beds were super comfortable. Will come back!

Simming pool is closed suring cold days which is obvious. other than that its a quiet place and the sound of the river running was soothing if u ignore the dogs barking from boarding kennel next door.

Before booking ratings were listed as outstanding. Better word would be adequate. Very outdated facilities. Lodge is next to a dog kennel so we were greeted each of our two mornings by a chorus of loud barking dogs at about 6 am. Dirty ashtray on the front stoop sitting area. Flimsy towels. For the price we paid for two nights it was very overpriced. Would not recommend.

Stayed here for five days with two other friends on a fishing trip in and around the area. The cabin was a nice older rustic cabin that was absolutely huge. Had all the amenities that we could need and was well kept up and very clean. The hosts were very polite and accommodating. And seeing elk walk through the yard was an added bonus. Would definitely stay there again.

Conveniently situated between Bryson City and Cherokee, near the casino and area attractions. Guests repeatedly note the tranquil riverside setting; however, proximity to a dog kennel can lead to early-morning barking.
